Auchinleck House, or The Place of Auchinleck, as it was
once known, was built by Lord Auchinleck, James Boswell
in the late 1700s. The Scottish classical-style mansion
was designed by Robert Adams, one of Scotland's most famous
architects. The death of Lord Auchinleck in 1782 saw Auchinleck
House remain in the Boswell family until it passed through
the female lines to the Malahide family.
In the 1920's, Talbot de Malahide, the great-great-grandson
of James Boswell who built Auchinleck House, sold Auchinleck
to another Boswell, Lt. Col. John Douglas Boswell.
The House has recently been acquired and restored by The
Landmark Trust. Auchinleck House can now be booked for holidays
through The Landmark Trust Website.
